This time it is seiyuu fans who have rendered their verdict on 2012 – specifically on which of the latest crop of seiyuu have made the most progress since their arrival, with the top spot unsurprisingly going to the rookie whose performance did so much for the ascent of Sword Art Online to hit franchise status…

Kaori Ishihara is popular because she has a very similar voice to veteran Kaori Mizuhashi. She’s a good actor, but I think part of her popularity is the voice which is similar to Mizuhashi’s and Mizuhashi’s voice is very distinct and unique.

I think Sumire Uekasa deserves a spot. Her voice as Dekomori from chuu2 was outstanding, and her Sora voice from papakiki was spot on. Since both voices are kinda contrasting too (one’s hyper one’s kinda reserved), she shows that she can do more than just one type of voice.

Yoshitsugu Matsuoka, Before he played Kirito he mostly unknown to some fans, though he do voiced some minor characters in Mouretsu Pirates, he really made his major rules debuts on Kirito, followed by Godou. He is indeed quite good in term of voicing Male Character.

Maaya Uchida, My personal Favorite. Compared to other Seiyuu she can be considered as new comer, She voiced several minor characters for the majority of 2010 and 2011. However recently she started to gain more popularity and started to voice some of main characters/heroine in the anime aired on 2012. Her first major role is probably Rea from anime adaptation of Sankarea and her other major role is Takanashi Rikka from Chunibyou. She possess unique voice that is hard to identify (even I can’t really identify character voiced by her and pretty much surprised when I realized that Rikka is voiced by her) and she is also shown to be able to sing just like most of professional Seiyuu/VA (anyone who heard Heroic Lily would understand). Perhaps we are slowly witnessing legend in the making…

I hope there will be a S3 too …
I love the haruhi franchise buying all books and cant wait for the next one to be released.
There is so much good stuff to get animated but since things went like this i dont rly think it will happen. But well i hope i guess wrong on this one
